UPDATE: We've added more reactions from today's press screening, and they're definitely more mixed than the initial wave of social media posts. It'll be interesting to see what the critics have to say when the full review embargo lifts in a few days.

Original article follows.

Supergirl takes flight this weekend, and DC Studios has released a new clip featuring the Woman of Tomorrow, Lobo and Ruthye Mary Knolle facing off against the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills and his Brigands.

The social media embargo was lifted on the 18th, and the next DCU movie was met with a mostly positive reception. A handful of reactions have been shared since, which you can also check out below.

Supergirl looks set for a $50 - $60 million opening weekend when it arrives in theaters on the 26.

"When an unexpected and ruthless enemy threatens, Kara Zor-El is forced, against her will, to team up with an unlikely companion. Together, they embark on an epic cosmic journey where revenge and justice are at stake – and where Kara must confront her origins to find her own path as a hero. Alcock is joined by Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham and Jason Momoa in key roles. Peter Safran and James Gunn are producing the film for DC Studios."

Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow will also star Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary Knolle, David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham as Kara's parents, Zor-El and Alura, and Matthias Schoenaerts as the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills.

Our new Girl of Steel will take flight on June 26, 2026.

Said Gunn when the project was first annonced: “In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl. She’s much more hardcore, she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re used to seeing.”

@newhire13 - Zack Snders JLA is on Netflix now & TRENDING #1 in 21 Countries. I think youre a minority on this. Nolan/Gioyer/Snyder DC is STILL successful. MoS came out in 2013!!! Gunns DC is making everyone rethink & rewatch MoS,BvS (Direc tors Cut)& Zacks JLA. They was AHEAD of their time & those films aged well. #s dont lie just ppl do! Like You!😂😂😂

Since it was deleted for some reason:
UltimaRex's "goalposts"!

*thunderus applause*

200m = failure.
250m = underperformed.
300m = break even.
350m = made money.
400m = made profit.
450m = sequel secured.

Box office only. If Supergirl makes X amount on digital and streaming it'll be considered a success anyway...

@UltimaRex - Anything under 300 is a major bomb of epic proportions. The break even point for this film is a 415-430 million

@FireGunn - the accounting on the DCU is clearly more complicated than that.

And no, I'm not breaking it down without getting paid.

*shrugs* after MOT the DCU is pretty much unstoppable.

@UltimaRex - Looks like we won't quite reach the "failure" goalpost. What should we call it then? Embarrassment? Tone-deaf corporate slop? Money Hole?

The reason many fans are already done with Supergirl has very little to do with special effects or even Milly Alcock's acting ability. It comes down to trust. And so far, Milly hasn't been helping fans develop that trust to come see her film.

DC has spent years rebooting, canceling, and changing direction. Many of us are simply exhausted. The new DC Universe under James Gunn was supposed to bring excitement and confidence, btu too many of us feel the projects released so far haven't demonstrated a clear identity distinct from Gunn's previous work, and frankly, he just isn't giving the actual ticket-buyers what they want. For critics, the humor-heavy, quirky tone that worked for Guardians of the Galaxy isn't necessarily what they want from characters like Supergirl or Superman.

Then there's the controversy surrounding interviews and public comments by cast and creators. Whether people think the reactions are fair or not, perception matters. Once a significant portion of the fanbase feels alienated, marketing hype alone rarely changes minds.

Beyond that, Supergirl is a difficult character to adapt. She's often overshadowed by Superman, and audiences want something emotionally compelling and heroic, not simply another sarcastic, irreverent take on a legacy character.

Could the movie surprise everyone? Of course. Great films overcome skepticism all the time. But pretending the concerns don't exist or dismissing critics as haters won't magically create excitement. Right now, many fans aren't rooting for the movie to fail, they're simply waiting for DC to prove that this time is different. And until audiences regain confidence in the franchise as a whole, no amount of promotional hype can guarantee success at the box office, no matter how hard they try to save this film.

@BadgerThorkin - Str8 facts. The Fans was EXCITED & ENERGIZED by Henry Cavill reveal in Black Adam just to be let down by his dismissal. Then we get the goofy, wacky DC for dummies. No script, no direction, & bad costumes. Almost like they dont care as long as it looks opposit of Zack/Nolans DC. They didn't get the hint when Joss Whedon did his wack, goofy, funny JLA & the fans screamed for the Snyder Cut.

More reviews are saying that this movie will be absolute garbage. Read between the lines. These modern reviewers are afraid of offending these studios but if you have the ultimate shills like Grace Randolph come out and say "how unfortunate" to this movie, chances are this movie will be absolutely abysmal.

Reboot the MCU and DCU

FFS..

Gunn's DC is where every offering is Guardians.

This is why it sucks.
FireGunn
FireGunn - 6/22/2026, 4:02 PM
We knew it was going to be "mixed" when even the initial social media shill reactions where "It's good" "A blast" "FUN!". Let's be honest, the reactions aren't mixed. Half of these "reviewers" are truly scared of saying their real opinions out of fear they'll never get invited to early screenings ever again. I predict a barely positive score on RT and a 6.5 on Imdb.

Reboot the MCU and DCU

Fun clip , action seems well done (albeit the clip itself was kinda choppy)…

Also , i’m glad to see the mostly positive reactions thus far for Supergirl so I hope that continues & translates to good reviews aswell.

Anyway , the movie seems good so hopefully I can check it out next weekend!!.
